Quietly asserting dominance in federal power: Musk's stealthy AI infiltration of the Republic
As the public epicenter whirls with presidential orders and juicy exposés of waste and deceit, the Trump administration, in cahoots with Elon Musk's US DOGE Service (USDS), is subtly orchestrating a revolutionary AI-led restructuring of federal operations**.
Established under the radar, USDS is bent on modernizing antiquated tech and software with the sole aim of augmenting government efficiency and productivity. However, this mission has morphed into a power grab for Musk and his cohorts, blissfully unchecked, and with little responsibility taken.
Two-faced, this 'progressive' endeavor poses as a reasonable productivity initiative, but is rapidly veering into a comprehensive AI invasion, arousing concerns about governance, openness, and the rule of unelected tech overlords. Amidst the frenzy over fiscal irresponsibility, the real transformation is occurring stealthily – Washington is not merely being simplified, it's being reprogrammed.
The GSA of New Things
To reshape the foundation of government operations, DOGE transfigured Technology Transformation Services (TTS) from an obscure department under the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). Its original mission was modernizing federal IT infrastructure. Now, TTS, alongside the GSA, serves as a guinea pig for Musk's AI-centric federal experiment, led by the ambitious figurehead, Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer turned disrupter.
With Shedd at the helm, TTS has gone to work, rewiring the system to harness AI. To break it down, TTS designs the tech while DOGE lays down the rules. Together, they're creating self-governing bureaucracies, where robotic administrators rule supreme.
The Great AI Emancipation
During last Monday's confab, Shedd envisioned TTS as a "startup software company," aspiring to centralize vast piles of federal data and automate everyday tasks. A coded term, this scheme essentially translates into one thing: replacing human cogs with AI-powered machines.
According to Wired, the linchpin of this plan is GSAi, a generative AI chatbot designed to process administrative tasks and streamline federal procurement. The GSA, a federal government lifeline that handles land, tech, and procurement, wields billions in contracts and controls essential infrastructure for other agencies. Automating such a critical function alters the very essence of how our government function.
This AI-centric narrative doesn't stop at the GSA. The ultimate goal is to embed AI into every federal agency, with a focus on financial operations. The report further intimates:
This revolutionary approach could drastically modify the citizen-government connection, contractor and employee hiring processes, and benefits distribution. It could also have far-reaching consequences for regulatory enforcement, procurement management, compliance oversight, and even policy-making.
Wasted Waste to Justify the AI Frenzy
In a swift spin of the narrative, the administration has championed government waste in the limelight. They've also positioned AI-driven automation as the remedy. To underline the urgency, recent headlines have broadcasted the excesses of USAID – ranging from $1.5 million for DEI initiatives in Serbia to $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland and $25,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia. Not to mention the agency's covert activities for the CIA.
And if there was ever a sign that reform was long overdue, it's the collective hysteria from Democrats. Their derision over Musk's USAID expenditure exposé reveals that this efficiency drive is hitting the bullseye with the 'Establishment.'
"That's exactly what Elon Musk has been instructed by President Trump to do: expose and eradicate waste, bureaucracy, and fraud from the federal government," affirmed White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Yet unspoken is that this "efficiency" comes at a cost – exchanging bureaucrats for algorithms, human scrutiny for AI governance.
Voted for the Automated Bureaucracy – Or Did You?
The debate has escalated. This isn't merely about eliminating waste – it's about an AI-driven utopia, ostensibly the will of the people.
According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Musk's DOGE was an essential ingredient in Trump's 2024 campaign messaging[3]. She said Americans "adore DOGE (and its ethos)" of cutting waste, eradicating bureaucracy, and obliterating corruption – which is true.
But let's make one thing clear: Musk was not on the ballot, and his AI takeover was never part of the campaign. Yes, trimming the fat is essential. But outsourcing the entire infrastructure of the U.S. government to AI? That topic was never up for discussion.
The Trendsetting Tech Tycoon
The popular image of Elon Musk as an anti-establishment crusader battling the Deep State is far from accurate. The reality is far more disturbing:
- Corporate Infiltration: Clutching massive government contracts, Musk has insinuated himself into the fabric of authority.
- The Everyday App Oligarch: Musk aspires to create a China-style "everything app," cementing his dominance over the digital realm.
- Transhumanist Ambitions: On the radical fringe of technological evolution, Musk dreams of a future where the elite are connected through brain-chips, manipulating reality and changing the very essence of humanity.
Such ambitions don't fit the profile of a rebellious outsider – they're bold alarms waving red flags. It's time for everyone to pay attention.
Technocracy on the Rise
With DOGE teams enmeshed in the heart of the federal government, armed with AI tools, what was presented as an efficiency initiative is now mutating into a technocracy, mirroring the globalist aspirations of the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.
While Musk's automation rebellion may shrink the federal job market, the real impact could be far vaster – transforming governance into a self-propelled, AI-controlled machinery, reaching tentacles into arenas previously untouched by automation.
Make no mistake: Eliminating waste is crucial and long overdue, but handing the command center of the U.S. government to a single, unelected billionaire is a dangerous wager – a threat to the very Republic that the Founders would have recognized instantly. With unbridled control over AI governance, defense apparatus, space infrastructure, Treasury operations, and the automation of federal agencies, we're hurtling towards a future in which the line between politician, diplomat, and digital masterminds becomes evermore blurred, and the traditional checks and balances are all but forgotten.
- The Trump administration's collaboration with Elon Musk's US DOGE Service (USDS) is not only modernizing technology in federal operations but also paving the way for an AI-led transformation of government policies and legislation.
- The General Services Administration (GSA) has become a key player in this revolutionary change, with Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer turned disruptor, leading the Technology Transformation Services (TTS) in harnessing AI to restructure government operations.
- As the AI-centric restructuring progresses, concerns are arising about governance, openness, and the rule of unelected tech overlords, as the TTS initiative aims to embed AI into every federal agency, potentially altering the very essence of how our government functions.
